This type of situation is why I use Docker for pretty much all of my projects—single package managers are frequently not enough to bootstrap an entire project, and it’s really nice to have a central record of how everything needed was actually installed. It’s so much easier to deal with getting things running on different machines, or things on a single machine that have conflicting dependencies.

Docker is good for deployment, but devcontainer is nice for development. Devcontainer uses Docker under the hood. Both are also critically important for security isolation unless one is explicitly using jails.
